BRANCHING OUT FOR FEBRUARY 2019

February 1, 2019

Dear Students, Parents, and Friends of Theodore Roosevelt,

As cold and dreary as January and February can be, there are still many heartening and positive events taking place at Roosevelt. We proudly inducted seventy-five new students into the National Honor Society. Students accepted into this prestigious group must learn at high levels, exhibit leadership characteristics, serve others and be of strong character. We appreciate that these students have been generously offering their time to provide tutoring during our early release time on Wednesdays.

Athletically, we are proud of our men’s swimming and diving team for winning the Suburban League Championship. The senior swim captains are Haydn Swan and Nolan Jones; Drew Ferrell is the diving captain. We recognize and appreciate the hard work and time our swimmers put into their sport.

As we celebrate Black History this month, we are preparing to recreate our living museum showcasing African American History on Thursday, February 21 during the school day. We will commemorate African American heroes whose positive influences continue to touch the lives of people everywhere.

We are excited that we have completed a full year of professional development Wednesdays. During those sessions, we have used this valuable time to accomplish several tasks. We reflected on our mission and set goals to create a culture that focuses on promoting positive mental health for all. During this time of collaboration and learning for the staff, we provided educational opportunities for our students. We are grateful that we have been allowed this opportunity to continue to do the hard work that will enhance our students’ high school experience.

The following are important dates for upcoming events:

Monday, Feb. 4:ACT Seminar

Thursday, Feb. 7:Kent City School District Strategic Planning Community Forum for Future Planning – 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at Stanton Middle School.
